Getting Logstash to talk to Elastic Search with HT

问题:

I have Elastic Search as part of the ELMA appliance. This appliance presents ES via HTTPS protected by basic auth. I have Logstash running on a separate machine. This Logstash needs to send log data to ES. What is the right output configuration to use?

Thanks for any pointers.

there is an option in new version:

ssledit

Value type is boolean Default value is false SSL Configurations (HTTP only)

Enable SSL

Looks like Logstash's elasticsearch_http module does not support SSL, or does not handle self-signed certs. My solution was to disable SSL on the ElasticSearch httpd conf entry in the ELMA appliance.
